Can't you just delete them? They live in \system32\config and are called appevent.evt, sysevent.evt and secevent.evt. You'll obviously need the necessary privs to delete these files, alternatively fire up event viewer and clear them out.
As the event log hasn't started I assume these files won't be locked open, so would thought you should be able to delete them.
